Description of πŸ’¨ Uniweld NV1 NitroVue Nitrogen Indicator: A High-Performance Tool for Precise Nitrogen Monitoring

Easy to read flow indicator label and the precision adjustable valve give complete control over the low flow of nitrogen gas. Bright orange float ball visually confirms the flow of nitrogen gas. Purge the copper lines at 20+ SCFH and then reduce the flow to Braze at 3-5 SCFH during the brazing process. Protected from over pressure with a reseatable safety blow off that opens at 200 psi.

does the job. the best among the meters

I like it a lot, but there is a downside. Not all controls have the same access port orientation. With my setup, my flow indicator is not vertical, but rather looks like it goes from 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock if you draw a line across it on the clock. Still works, but doesn't hang perfectly. In my case, the pressure regulator (obviously moveable) turns all the way and hits the tank, so it can't be leveled by moving the regulator. I leaned the nitrogen bottle against the house wall at an angle and

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Uniweld NV1 NitroVue Nitrogen Gauge

This Uniweld Nitrogen Gauge is made from machined aluminum and is easy to use. It is very compact and uses a simple flow sphere with a color bar labeled 3-5 SCFH for soldering and yellow for 20+ SCFH for flushing. It has built in 200psi over pressure protection. I made a short length of 3/8" copper tubing with a couple of flare fittings to mount in my nitro tanks for vertical use. I think this is great for a quick setup when applying nitro to solder. No more bulky and fragile nitrometers needed

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly

I doubt the Uniweld brand for my HVAC supplies

I have used Uniweld on many HVAC products I have purchased over the years. However, I've been having problems right out of the box lately. I recently bought a NitroVue flow meter and it was leaking from a 1/4" swivel nut that connects directly to the regulator. No matter how I tried to hand tighten the nut, she licked. It wasn't even high pressure, it was literally, as I turned the secondary control valve to start pressurizing you could hear it leaking. I ended up having to take some pliers to…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
